Not boohoo, I wasn't protecting them, all I meant was that its hard to police the sheer amount of stuff that gets uploaded there.
I'd not thought of the put every file in pending until it's been scanned / opened / snooped on by the Stasi and noted down for future crimes that havn't been invented yet idea but eventually I expect that is the way it will go.
Until some legal authority manages to
force them to check everything and makes it definitely 100% RapidShare's responsibility to check what it is they are offering downloaders they aren't going to want to fuck up their own piracy based business model by policing stuff any more than they actually have to.
You can't make a law that only covers one specific thing it always ends up having a knock on effect that nobody had properly thought about. Forcing RapidShare to check absolutely everything that ends up on their servers will also have a knock on effect to ordinary web hosts. What's going to happen when you can't ftp stuff onto your own site because someone in India has to check it all due to someone rushing through badly thought out legislation?
